CHC Once Again Achieves Accreditation from BBB Wise Giving Alliance Promising Excellence in Leadership, Finances and Mission-Driven Work

By meeting key standards of board oversight, finances, results reporting and fundraising appeals, CHC: Creating Healthier Communities achieved accreditation once again by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. This accreditation signifies that CHC upholds the high standards that our donors and partners deserve while achieving excellence in governance and leadership.

CHC brings nonprofits, businesses and communities together around a shared commitment to better health and wellbeing. For more than 65 years, CHC has worked together with partners to address the barriers to good health and equity and create resilient communities where everyone can thrive.

Through a 2017 agreement with BBB WGA, all of CHC’s member charities must submit information for BBB evaluation and are asked to work towards meeting all 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. In addition to nonprofit and corporate partnerships, CHC has recently initiated promising health equity programs and also serves as an innovator with the continued growth of the CHC Corporate Leadership Council.

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance (BBB WGA) is a comprehensive charity evaluator, assisting donors in making sound giving decisions. Donors know they can trust a charity if it is accredited by the BBB WGA.  Their broad standards go beyond what the law requires and dives deeper than other charity monitoring organizations.  Each BBB WGA charity report process involves a rigorous review using 20 holistic BBB Charity Standards, interaction with charity officials about corrective actions needed to address deficiencies, and quality control measures to assure report accuracy. Thousands of charities have reports available to the public at Give.org.
